Özet:

The increase in both quantity and quality has made international organizations an undeniable component of the modern international system. Although the individual interests of states create important problems in the realization of the common interests on which the organizations are based, mainstream approaches that see organizations as only the tools of states ignore the important roles they play in the international system. In this context, the study, based on the assumption that international organizations have a fundamental role in the development of the normative dimension of the international system, aims to develop a more comprehensive approach to international organizations from the perspective of social constructivism. The study suggests that international organizations have a role that enables and limits the relations between international actors with their norm-producing and socialization mechanisms. This asserted hypothesis will be explained with examples of the norm-producing and socialization activities of the United Nations (UN) in combating civil war and global terrorism.
